I recommend the 5.11 "Thumb Drive" holster (made by bladetech). Many of the ranges in my area have banned the use of the "serpa" holster due to safety issues while drawing the weapon. The 5.11 holster works with your thumb instead of your index finger to disengage the retention device. By using your thumb instead of your finger tip allows for a much more positive engagement of the button while allowing you to get a good grip and avoid accidentally inserting your finger into the trigger guard before getting your muzzle on target. Check out the video on their website here. http://www.511tactical.com/All-Produ...e-Holster.html
I use this holster for daily carry at work and competition. I hope this helps.
